  Because they can’t be done unilaterally.
  You need someone else to actually put you on the payroll to ‘pirate’ a job. You need a government to document your citizenshipon in their databases.

  Pirating doesn’t require anyone else to do something for you.

  If you want you can put on a red polo, go to Target, and start helping customers and organizing shelves. But they’re not gonna pay you.

  These things do happen. I read an article less than a year ago about a lady who pretended to be a nurse and worked in a hospital for quite a while. She was only discovered when she was going to be promoted and they realized she wasn’t certified.

  The CIA and international criminals use identify brokers to disappear. There are organized criminal groups that will create a fake identity and cultivate it to adulthood—opening bank accounts, renting apartments, and taking on fake jobs to produce a fully functional blank identity with a history that can be verified. Then, they sell that identity to the highest bidder.

  The only reason they can’t be pirated is that they are difficult to produce and often case specific. Nobody is going to do all that work for free, and it requires you to either be willing to take the risk yourself, or to have the money and connections for an experienced criminal to do years of work for you.

  Piracy is piracy because copies can be reused indefinitely without significant further cost to the person sharing it. If uploading Shrek took 18 years of work and cost 100k+ for a single use, it wouldn’t be widely available either.
